Method
 

Pancake Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until mostly smooth.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 2 tsp (8g) baking powder, 1 tbsp (15g) granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt to the blender. Pulse 5-7 times until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow it to thicken.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt a little butter. Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. Serve immediately in a stack, topped with a dollop of dark berry jam, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a few fresh raspberries.

Notes

Don't Over-Blend: After adding the dry ingredients, pulse only until just combined to keep pancakes tender.
Medium-Low Heat is Key: This ensures the pancakes cook through without burning.
Let the Batter Rest: This is crucial for achieving a thick, fluffy texture.
